There is no discoloration of the 

 twigs by the fungus but the internal 

 tissues are permeated by a strong 

 brown mycelium. The ostioles are pro- 

 minent but are thinly covered by the 

 epidermis which gives them a pruinose 

 appearance.

Lachnea coprinaria var. minima Grove, in Journ. Bot. Ivi.

 a stage growth of Ascobolns barbatus. He refers to note in 

 Trans. B.M.S. iv. p. 367 as "impossible."*
